Facebook Tweet Email Link Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during decision-making. The data, gathered from 139 mice, encompass activity from more than 600,000 neurons in 279 areas of the brain — about 95% of the brain in a mouse. …

Deep in Earth’s past, an icy landscape became a seascape as the ice melted and the oceans rose off what is now the northeastern United States. Nearly 50 years ago, a U.S. government ship searching for minerals and hydrocarbons in the area drilled into the seafloor to see what it could find. It found, of all things, drops to drink …

For the first time in humans, these islet cells have been genetically edited so they wouldn’t be rejected by the patient, removing the need for immunosuppressant drugs. Type 1 diabetes usually begins when the immune system mistakenly attacks the islet cells …

For the first time, scientists have captured a real-time view of a human embryo implanting in a laboratory model of a uterus. Being able to witness the complex implantation process may be helpful for advancing fertility procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), the researchers say. “We have observed that human embryos burrow into the uterus, exerting considerable force during …
